mmsexplorer(1M) System Administration Commands mmsexplorer(1M) NAME
mmsexplorer - generate diagnostic report for Media Management System SYNOPSIS
mmsexplorer -u [report_name] [num_lines] DESCRIPTION
The mmsexplorer command creates a diagnostic report of the activities of the Media Managment System (MMS) server configuration and collects log information. It constructs the diagnostic report from the most recent entries in the MMS log file, MMS database, and MMS trace file. The MMS is a software interface, consisting of library managers and drive managers, that manages storage resources such as tape libraries, tape drives, media pools, tape volumes, and the disk resources that emulate tape drives and tape volumes. By default, mmsexplorer generates a compressed report. Use the -u option to generate an uncompressed file. To run mmsexplorer, you must become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -u Generates the diagnostic report file in an uncompressed format. report_name Specifies the name of the diagnostic report file. The default name and location is: /tmp/MMSreport.<hostname.YYYYMMDD.HHMMZ>.tar.gz num_lines Specifies the number of lines to capture from each file that contributes to the diagnostic report. The default is 1000 lines. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating Diagnostic Report Using Default Values The following command creates a diagnostic report using all default values. The MMS server is running on a host named x400. This name is reflected in the name of the diagnostic file. # mmsexplorer Report name: /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1247CDT.tar.gz Lines per file: 1000 Output format: tar.gz (default) Use -u for unarchived/uncompressed.

Please wait............................................. Please wait............................................. Please wait.. The following files should now be ftp'ed to your support provider as ftp type binary. /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1247CDT.tar.gz Example 2 Creating an Uncompressed Diagnostic Report The following command creates an uncompressed diagnostic report. As in the previous example, the MMS server is running on a host named x400. # mmsexplorer Report name: /tmp/MMSreport.x4200.20080530.1252CDT Lines per file: 1000 Output format: unarchived/uncompressed Please wait.............................................
